Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu ep 11
Hoho. Another excellent episode from kyoto animation.
Many funny scenes again. I burst out laughing on seeing haruhi deliver a flying kick into the computer president. Somehow watching haruhi repeated get blown up during practise was hilarious too. even though… it was just otherwise some mundane repeated stuff.
Yuki is the star again this time round. And she’s really getting to be very lovable. The all serious character, who really has a mischievious and fun inner self. You can just see that twinkle in her eye.
one of these days, i’ll rewatch the whole anime in its proper sequence.
There were scenes that hint at interesting things that happened during the cultural festival, which from the trailer, would be showing next week. It’s the first time that haruhi and kyon agree on the episode number!
Watch out for who crews the different battlecruisers!
It’s just days after the cultural festival. The computer society is back challenging SOS brigade to a computer game that they programmed themselves. They want their computer back, in exchange, they are betting new PCs for each of their members. Haruhi offers up yuki, or mikuru, or even herself if they actually lose.
Battle begins, and the SOS brigade suffers from multiple hit and run attacks, and is totally unable to hit the enemy at all. Haruhi, as the boss, has been holding back after kyon asked her to, but gets impatient and decides to charge ahead as per her usual style. Internal strife in the SOS brigade occurs, as kyons wants her to hold back.
Yuki has been typing furiously away. Suddenly the SOS brigade’s fog of war is 60% cleared, thanks to micro management of units by Yuki. Something that is not normally possible. Kyon goes over to see what on earth she’s doing, and all she has are a bunch of command promt screens, instead of the game screen. Kyon asks what on earth she’s doing, since he had previously requested nobody to cheat. Yuki insist that she’s doing nothing that normal humans can’t do, and reveals that the computer society was actually cheating.
Kyon sense that she’s actually getting excited, and since she looks like she wants to win, allows her to continue what she was doing. Yuki removes the computer society’s cheat, and thanks to her earlier micro management, SOS brigade totally trashes the computer society.
The president comes over in total defeat, and implores yuki to come over to the computer society whenever she is free. Haruhi of course refuses. But kyon interferes, and says that yuki should do what she wants. Yuki agrees to pop by when free… and of course.. has that twinkle in her eye. 
weird. I don’t remember seeing any of the new computers in the earlier episodes, which are supposed to happen after this episode. -shrugs- Thankfully kyoto animation did a full blown animation of the game, instead of the boring 2D strategy game that was presented in the manga. Very well animated.
It’s interesting to see haruhi agreeing with all that kyon says, and also koizumi’s analysis of their relationship. haha. Even watching haruhi stare closely at kyon to ‘impart’ confidence into him just had the sweet element.
